Let’s talk about Phobias💬
Phobias are more than just everyday fears, they are intense, persistent anxieties about specific objects or situations that can seriously affect daily life. 😟 From heights and spiders to social situations and flying, phobias can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
The good news! Phobias are treatable! Therapy methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy can help you understand and manage these fears. 💪✨
If you or someone you know struggles with a phobia, remember: facing your fears with the right support can lead to lasting change. 🌟
If you experience a phobia or your phobia is impacting on your mood, life or mental health we can help! We are here to support you and can help you overcome your fears.

Let’s talk about OCD.🧠💬

OCD is often misunderstood, it’s not just about being neat or washing your hands.
That’s why we put together this post to help clear up some of the myths out there.
Swipe through to test your knowledge and learn the truth behind what OCD really is (and what it isn’t).

Whether you live with OCD or want to better understand it, awareness is the first step toward compassion and change. 💙

If you have OCD or think you have OCD, we are here to help.

🧠 OCD Awareness Post 🧠
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than just being neat or liking things a certain way. It’s a mental health condition that involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) that people feel driven to perform to reduce anxiety.
💬 Many people with OCD know their thoughts aren’t logical, but the fear and discomfort they feel are very real. Imagine your brain constantly warning you that something terrible might happen unless you do a specific action—like checking the door 20 times or washing your hands until they’re raw.
🚪 OCD can affect relationships, work, and daily life. Some people avoid places, people, or situations that trigger their obsessions. Others feel isolated, ashamed, or misunderstood.
💡 Awareness matters. Compassion matters. Treatment helps.
OCD is treatable with therapy (like CBT and ERP), medication, and support. If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out is a brave and important step.

10th October is World Mental Health Day 🌍 Today we thought we would share our tips on staying well and looking after your mental health.

1. Spend time in nature 🌳 – even a walk in your local area can help improve your mood and reduce symptoms of stress.
2. Connect with others 👯‍♀️ – talking with people helps build a sense of belonging and reduces loneliness.
3. Move your body 🏃🏻‍♀️ – it doesn’t have to be anything big, start small and try find something you enjoy.
4. Get enough sleep😴 – see our previous post for help improving your sleep.
5. Eat a balanced diet 🍎 – Making sure we are getting enough of everything can improve our energy levels and positively effect our mood.
6. Plan things to look forward to 📆 – having fun things to look forward to can help us cope with difficult situations. This can be something small such as a cup of tea or watching your favourite TV programme.
7. Set small goals ✅ – Setting small achievable goals helps to improve wellbeing and stops things feeling so overwhelming.
8. Practice mindfulness 💆🏻‍♀️ – being present in the moment stops us from worrying and overthinking.
9. Reach out for support 📞 – You are not alone and there are people that can help.

Talking about our mental health is one of the best ways to improve your mental health and wellbeing, whether that be with someone you trust or with a mental health professional. Today, we are encouraging everyone to come together to talk about mental health.

If you’re dealing with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression and would like support in improving your mental health, don’t hesitate to reach out. One of our team can carry out a supportive assessment to see how we can help 💬💚
